Like how an eagle in the sky could see another eagle flying in the sky and how a fierce tiger in the woods could smell a fierce tiger walking in the woods, knights were also very sensitive to the qi of their fellows; especially when another knight released his powerful battle qi.
Zhang Tie had already sensed that qi from 50 miles away.
"That's my friend. When you flew towards Saint Maner City a few hours ago, he also received the news. He thought that I would be in trouble. Therefore, he hurriedly came here to support me!" Jaray said as he stood up, "Wait a second, I will pick him up. My friend must be very happy to know such a powerful young knight!"
"Go ahead. I also want to know this friend of yours. There's a Chinese saying that a friend in need is a friend indeed. It's rare to have such a friend who could drop everything and come here to help you in a crisis!"
Jaray revealed a smile as he felt that Zhang Tie's words had touched his heart. After nodding towards Zhang Tie, he left the lounge. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie had felt Jaray flying off the airship towards the source of that qi.
Zhang Tie was drinking tea and waiting quietly in the restroom.
Tea leaves from Eastern Continent were expensive drinks. After communicating with Jaray for a few hours, Zhang Tie had learned a lot of things. Knights across Blackson Humans Corridor liked tea leaves from Taixia Country the most. Some of those tea leaves were senior products, which could nourish knights' bodies and spiritual energy. Long-term consumption of it could also improve knights' perception of the power of nature and keep their brains and consciousness in a bright state, making it easier for them to enter meditation and cultivate. Such tea leaves were knights' favorite. In terms of weight, one jin of such tea leaves would require at least a hundred times its weight in gold. Besides, according to Jaray, this kind of tea wasn't the best. The best kind of tea couldn't be bought through ordinary channels. Only a few. It would flow into some high-class auctions and be bought at a high price.
Zhang Tie stared at the small pinch of golden, fine and sharp tea leaves in his teacup and revealed a bitter smile. This tea leaf was called Golden Scale, which also came from the Eastern Continent. The small cup of tea that he had just drunk was worth over 30 gold coins. It was his dad's 3-year salary in Blackhot City. Jaray was not a person who liked to be extravagant, but at the knight level, Even though he didn't pursue it on purpose, the resources and items on his side had unconsciously made the life of a knight a bit more luxurious than that of commoners.
The tea smelled comfortable. After having a sip, although it tasted a bit bitter, Zhang Tie indeed found a delicate and special energy and aura in it, which was nourishing his body and spiritual energy. This kind of nourishing feeling was similar to that of all-purpose medicament. The effect of the tea was not as direct and comprehensive as that of all-purpose medicament. However, it was more ethereal and natural. Besides nourishing his body silently, Zhang Tie found that after drinking it for a few hours, it could make his mind a bit clearer and more flexible. If he drank it for a long time, it would indeed be a bit helpful to his cultivation. However, the annual consumption of this tea leaves might be a shocking figure for commoners.
At this moment, Zhang Tie recalled Donder. Donder boasted that he had drunk a cup of tea at the price of a few gold coins. Zhang Tie thought that Donder was bragging.
However, the most memorable tea leaf was the small piece of common oriental tea leaf that Fatty Barley gave him to keep in his mouth when he went to find Ms. Anna. Compared to the golden scales in front of him, the tea leaf given by Barley was totally different. However, Zhang Tie always felt that it was the best tea leaf that he had ever tasted and could never be replaced by other tea leaves.
When he recalled his friends in Blackhot City, Zhang Tie added two spoonfuls of sugar into the tea...
Drinking the sweet tea, Zhang Tie revealed a smile. As for commoners, sweetness could always bring them more pleasure and pleasure than bitterness. Some habits were related to one's family background. As for Zhang Tie, who grew up drinking rice brew, he had never felt that tea tasted good, even though the price of a cup of tea here could not even match that of selling rice brew for 10 years!
...
In just five or six minutes, Jaray arrived. He was accompanied by a tall and powerful knight in armor. This knight was the guardian knight of the Berdi Empire. The Berdi Empire's national power was similar to that of the Raymlan Empire. The two empires were closely connected and had a relatively harmonious relationship. The royal families of the two empires had also married several times. Jaray and this knight named Way had been friends for more than 70 years, so their relationship was extraordinary.
The arrival of Knight Way made the lounge even livelier. The 3 knights also had more topics to talk about.
As Jaray and Wey were much older than Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie had just promoted to a knight at 20 years old. Therefore, neither Jaray nor Wey felt that Zhang Tie was as arrogant as a member of a major Hua clan. Additionally, Zhang Tie was very modest and frank. Therefore, Jaray and Wey liked Zhang Tie very much. As a result, they got along well with Zhang Tie.
Unlike the reserved and restrained Knight Jaray, the Guardian Knight of the Berdi Empire, Way, had a very straightforward personality. He would say whatever was on his mind. The few of them had only talked for a little more than ten minutes, and Knight Way had already voiced his doubts.
"Jaray and I were already over 100 years old when we promoted to knights. We were still young among knights. Jaray said you're only about 20 years old. How could you promote to a knight so fast? I asked Jaray when I came here just now; however, Jaray didn't say anything …"
Zhang Tie threw a glance at Jaray. Jaray revealed a smile as he didn't say anything. He had promised Zhang Tie that he would not mention the news about the tower of time to others. Even if Way asked him, he didn't say anything. A knight's promise was naturally as firm as gold and iron, unshakable.
With a smile, Zhang Tie told Wey what he had told Jaray just now.
Like Jaray, when Wey heard the tower of time that he discovered in the mysterious underground space, he was shocked. He was so excited that he almost jumped up.
"Unexpected, unexpected..." Wey patted his thigh fiercely, "There is such a mysterious space hidden deep under the Kalay Mountain Range. There's a tower of time in that space … "After saying this, Way suddenly recalled something as he glared at Jaray," You've long known that, haven't you? Why didn't you say anything when I asked you? "
"I've promised Zhang Tie that I wouldn't mention this to anyone else. Naturally, I have to keep my word! "Jia Lei said calmly.
"I came here to risk my life for you, and you didn't even tell me?" Way put on a serious face.
"You don't have to come. I didn't beg you!" Jaray said with a smile.
After gazing at each other for a short while, the two people burst out into laughter at the same time. Zhang Tie sensed the tacit understanding and trust between the two people from their smiles.
"That tower of time would not open until 6 decades later. It's easy to go down there; however, it's hard to come out of that space. Even as a knight, I might not be able to leave it safe and sound. Zhang Tie reminded them out of kindness. Zhang Tie reminded them out of kindness. That place was a pit. After realizing that the two knights were upright, Zhang Tie reminded them in case that it was too late for them to regret it if they really wanted to take a look at it.
After exchanging a glance with each other, Jaray and Wey nodded at the same time as they understood Zhang Tie's meaning.
"Don't worry, I will not tell anyone else about this news. Jaray and I had planned to explore the underground world a few years ago. Pitifully, as the No. 1 knights of Berdi Empire and Raymlan Empire, we couldn't leave at will. Sometimes, we could make great achievements in the underground world; however, it's also very dangerous. Additionally, we couldn't predict the time needed …" Wey let out a sigh.
"You've wanted to seek for the tower of time before?"
"Besides the tower of time, there're actually many secrets in the underground world, which are also very attractive to knights!"
"Secrets?"
"Yes, after promoting to a knight, most of the rune equipment and alchemist's equipment, especially those that could improve the knight's battle ability, actually don't have a great effect on knights anymore. Those rune equipment could exert 100% of their effects on LV 15 battle spirits; however, they could only exert 1/10 of their effects on knights!"
Watching Zhang Tie's look, Wey asked out of amazement, "Don't you know the black iron effect of equipment?"
"Zhang Tie has just promoted to a knight. He has not touched this knowledge before!" Jaray explained for Zhang Tie on one side.
"What's the black iron effect of equipment?" Zhang Tie asked.
"The black iron effect of equipment is the bottleneck effect of common equipment on black iron knights. Black iron effect is easy to understand. For instance, there's a vat of water in front of you. Is it easy for you to increase the water level of this vat by 10%?"
Zhang Tie nodded.
"If there's a river in front of you, will it be easy for you to increase the water level of this river by 10%? A piece of wet mud might be two times harder after being exposed to the sun for a couple of days; however, it's not easy for a piece of steel to be two times harder after being exposed to the sun for a couple of days. " Wey explained it to Zhang Tie straightforwardly. As a knight, he would feel satisfied to a certain degree if he could have a chance to teach another knight, "After forming the first chakra, the energy level and strength system of a knight would be utterly different than that of a person who hasn't formed a chakra. Therefore, the rune equipment and alchemist's equipment that could work on others could not have the same effect on knights. As for those equipment used by commoners, if its effect is less than 10% for commoners, it would almost be useless on knights. Only those equipment whose effect is greater than 10% on commoners could play the same effect on knights by 10 times. This is the black iron effect of knight's equipment. "
After hearing Wey's explanation, Zhang Tie understood why he only got three items from the two knights outside Mocco City. From the knight of the Symbian Republic, Zhang Tie only got an autumn-frost gold sword. As this autumn-frost gold sword was a weapon, its basic performance and function would not be influenced by knight's level. However, from the knight of Three-eye Association, Zhang Tie only got a rose finger ring and a full-moon dragon soul waistband.
The rune on the Autumn Frost Mysterious Gold Sword had a recovery effect of 10%, which was 1% when used on a knight. The recovery effect of the Rose Ring was 11%, and the meditation effect was increased by 15%. These three attributes were all more than 10%. The full-moon dragon soul waistband was a bronze secret item that could only be used after knights. Zhang Tie had not taken it out of Castle of Black Iron yet.
At that time, Zhang Tie was a bit curious, 'Based on the knight's ability, he should be able to get some rune equipment. How could he only have so few rune equipment? Can't he wear some more finger rings to improve his battle strength?'
After hearing Wey's explanation, Zhang Tie finally understood it. It was not that the two knights didn't want to wear more items, but due to the black iron effect, there were too few items that could be used by knights. Many equipment which could be used by commoners were useless to knights. Only those top-quality equipment of commoners could barely exert 1/10 of its effect to knights.
"If we make another promotion in the future, will those rune equipment which could be used by commoners become useless to us?"
"Yes!" Jaray nodded, "By then, besides the underground secret items, all the rune equipment and alchemist's equipment produced by humans in this age would be useless to earth knights."
"Earth knight?" It was Zhang Tie's first time to hear the appellation of a higher level knight after black iron knight.
"Of course, after forming the earth chakra of earth elements, water element, wind element and fire element, knights on the next level would be called earth knight!"
When it came to earth knights, Jaray and Wey's eyes turned sacred at the same time. That was the most sacred dream of all the black iron knights …
"Is the demon general an earth knight?"
"No, it's said that the demon general has just one foot over the threshold of an earth knight. If he's really an earth knight, only half of the 10 human knights could survive back in the battle of Upton City..."
…
After chatting with Jaray and Way, Zhang Tie rapidly enriched his knowledge and information about knights. Jaray and Way were both experienced human knights who had promoted to knights for a long time. Therefore, Zhang Tie benefited a lot from their understanding of knights' world.
When they chatted, Goddess Lake, the flagship of the royal airship troop of Raymlan Empire, arrived at Saint Maner City and landed on a small island on the bank of Goddess Lake which was adjacent to Saint Maner City …
This small island covered about 10 square miles. It was the location of Jaray's battle palace in Raymlan Empire, which was only 5-6 miles away from the imperial palace of Raymlan Empire.
